Detained Ship Ordered Back to Sea While Feds Examine Cargo for Radioactivity The Associated Press abcnews.go.com NEWARK, N.J. Sept. 11 - A ship detained after traces of radioactivity were detected in its cargo was temporarily ordered back to sea, the U.S. Coast Guard said Wednesday. The Liberian-flagged container ship, the M/V Palermo Senator, was ordered to stay in a security zone six miles offshore while the inspection continues. The ship was directed to Berth 92 at the Port Newark/Elizabeth Marine Terminal after a Coast Guard team boarded the vessel Tuesday. Team members heard suspicious sounds in several of the ship's cargo holds, but they could not determine their source. While no evidence of stowaways was found, they determined that the ship's cargo posed a potential risk to public safety. Officials would not provide any details about the cargo. Capt. Craig Bone, the Coast Guard's top official at the port, said in a statement that the boat will remain offshore "until the condition of its cargo can be ascertained and safely offloaded."
